A monospaced design with gently flared, typewriter-like terminals and subtly uneven stroke edges that mimic ink spread or worn metal type. The forms are open and legible, with rounded curves and slight asymmetries that keep repeated letters from feeling perfectly uniform. Serifs are minimal and soft, often appearing as small horizontal feet or short brackets, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and O) stay smooth and slightly bulbous. Overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, but the outlines introduce a light, organic wobble that reads as intentional texture rather than distortion.
It suits applications that benefit from an authentic typed voice: documents, instructions, UI readouts styled as typewritten, captions, and small blocks of editorial copy where a hint of texture adds personality. It also works well for labeling and packaging where a mechanical, archival look is desired without sacrificing readability.
The font conveys a vintage, practical tone—like typed correspondence, field notes, or a well-used label maker—tempered by a friendly, slightly imperfect warmth. Its restrained roughness adds character without turning into heavy grunge, giving text a human, documentary feel.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of typewritten output with a controlled, lightly distressed finish—balancing monospaced discipline with imperfect outlines to evoke age, handling, and ink on paper.
Counters remain clear and punctuation-like details (such as the i/j dots) appear slightly inked and irregular, reinforcing the analog impression. Numerals follow the same softened, worn logic, keeping the set visually cohesive in continuous text.
